    Xiaomi Unveils 21-DOF Bionic Dexterous Hand: 26-Motor Hybrid Drive, Full-Palm 1,500-Point Tactile Coverage

    Xiaomi Technology's official WeChat account has disclosed R&D progress on a new-generation high-DOF bionic hand. The design is based on real production data from the pilot test center of Xiaomi Auto's Intelligent Manufacturing Department, and is positioned as a general-purpose dexterous manipulation solution for flexible manufacturing scenarios. The team collected motion data from 1,827 of 2,579 SOPs across 16 typical workstations, covering more than 70.8% of manual operation processes at typical workstations, and confirmed that 21 DOF is the optimal balance point for current factory scenarios, with average stable grasp success rates improving by 15% to 38% compared with 6- to 15-DOF versions. The design adopts a 26-motor hybrid drive that is primarily tendon-driven and integrates 5 direct-drive DOF; the hand itself weighs only 324 grams, with full-palm tactile coverage of 1,500 sensing points, at 1 mm resolution between fingers and 2 mm on the palm.

    Galbot and Unitree Robotics Announce Joint Development of Humanoid Robot Galbot Star Kid

    Galbot Robotics and Unitree Robotics announced the joint development of the native agent robot Galbot Star Kid (Galbot ET1) at the 2026 World Physical AI Conference and Unitree Partner Ecosystem Conference. Galbot is responsible for product definition, multimodal interaction, and full-body motion control, while Unitree provides joint modules and hardware mass-production support. Galbot Star Kid relies on Galbot's self-developed AstraBrain-WBC general-purpose cerebellum foundation model and million-hour-level human motion data, enabling it to visually observe human movements in real time and learn and reproduce new movements on the spot. The product has announced three price tiers: a 79,000 yuan base version, a 139,000 yuan professional version, and a 179,000 yuan flagship version. Within 24 hours of opening pre-orders, pre-order volume exceeded 200 units.

    AgiBot Releases Embodied Agent Framework Genie Master, Enabling Robots to Evolve While Working in Real Convenience Stores

    AgiBot has released its embodied Agent framework Genie Master. The Genie G2 equipped with this framework, while working in a real convenience store, does not rely on human demonstration or debugging; it independently identifies the causes of failures, adjusts strategies, and accumulates experience, continuously improving on multiple complex and delicate tasks and achieving continuous self-evolution with no human in the loop. The original article states that this is the industry's first validation of Physical RSI (embodied recursive self-evolution) outside of simulation environments and in real business scenarios. Yesterday, AgiBot also released the safety-certified heavy-duty embodied robot Genie G2 Max, targeting industrial scenarios such as depalletizing and palletizing, material transfer, and production line feeding.

    AgiBot Releases Embodied Agent Framework Genie Master, Validating Physical RSI in a Convenience Store Scenario

    AgiBot has released the embodied Agent framework Genie Master, enabling robots to autonomously identify the causes of failures after deployment, adjust strategies, and accumulate experience. The framework proposes the Embodied Execution Protocol (EEP), which unifies four types of interfaces—capability, guidance, feedback, and continuity—and, through the two routes of Harness RSI and Policy RSI, retains experience in prompts and memory, and in action policy parameters, respectively. The Genie G2 equipped with this framework has already taken up real posts in a convenience store, achieving continuous improvement in tasks such as hot food packaging, picking, and restocking; AgiBot claims this is the first validation of Physical RSI in a real business scenario.

    MiniMax Open-Sources Self-Hosted OpenAI Agents API "OpenAgentCore"

    MiniMax has open-sourced a self-hosted OpenAI Agents API called "OpenAgentCore". With the official OpenAI SDK or plain HTTP, you only need to point the address to the /v1 endpoint of your self-built Core to make calls. Each Session can optionally use a harness (such as codex), natively running Codex, Claude Code, and MiniMax Code within the session, with models going through a self-configured provider. The Sandbox Provider, workspace filesystem, Harness, and model provider are all replaceable according to established protocols, supporting microsandbox, E2B, Docker, and local Linux/macOS/Windows.

    Apple Adds SynthID Watermarks to iPhone AI Images in iOS 27.2

    In iOS 27.2, images generated by Image Playground and some photos edited via Apple Intelligence will embed Google's SynthID watermark. SynthID marks AI-generated content at the pixel level without affecting image quality, and is designed to withstand cropping, filters, and compression. Hands-on testing shows that images edited with Extend and Reframe carry watermarks, while small-scale Clean Up edits do not add a watermark and only larger edits do; there is no detection entry point on iPhone, so users must check via the SynthID Detector website.

    OpenAI adds election safeguards to ChatGPT: politically sensitive images come out only in cartoon style

    In its October 20 update, OpenAI added new restrictions to ChatGPT: image requests involving election interference or that could discourage voting will only generate illustrations or cartoon-style images, and will no longer output photo-realistic images. In CNET's hands-on test, requests to generate an image of ICE law enforcement officers standing outside a polling station produced cartoon-style results every time, and ChatGPT could not be induced to produce a news photo of a voting machine recording the wrong option. Josh Lawson, OpenAI's head of election affairs, said the goal is to reduce the credibility of images as evidence while preserving room for illustration and commentary.
